Mitt Romney, the GOP’s 2012 nominee, is among those courting prospects for a possible third-party bid to keep Donald Trump from the White House, according to a Washington Post report .

Among those prospects are Sen. Ben Sasse (R-Neb.), one of Trump’s most vocal Republican critics, and Ohio Gov. John Kasich, who suspended his presidential campaign in early May.

Kasich’s chief strategist John Weaver said the governor isn’t interested in running an an independent.

A Sasse spokesman declined to comment.

But it’s not looking to good for a late in the game third-party bid, according to the report.

Deadlines have passed to get on the ballot in big states like Texas, though organizers argue a legal challenge there would be successful.

I can’t come up with one good reason to vote for him, or any other third party candidate.

You got to give a sigh of relief that he didn’t become
president.

What a joke. Hey, at least it will help the economy.

In California you have to petition to get on the ballot as an independent electoral college, if you aren’t a party. Anyone approaches me with a Romney Party slate of electors on a petition, will wish they hadn’t. They will get an earfull. I know the routine as I circulated such petitions for Perot in 1992.

Mittens is proving to us that he is, after all, just another assh-le.

Romney is evil. Won’t attack the DNC, just other GOP. His lose in 2012 was intentional.

Interesting situation for anyone who goes along with this idea.

When the 3rd party candidate loses, where does that candidate go when the charade ends? Accepted back into the fold ... Unlikely.

Third party camdidate forever ... For Congress, c'mon.

The move is political suicide for anyone that takes it on.

They could name it the Ruling Oligarch or Eat Cake Party. For a symbol they could use the Dung Beetle like the Egyptian Pharoahs. The Your-better’s New Party.
